If there was a musical about Tim Hortons, what would you imagine the showtune titles or lyrics to be like?

Have fun!

Anyone going?

Hey, wondering if the Brooklin Spring Fair is actually worth it? $20 to get in and $10 to park. How is parking in the area or is this just going to be as bad as trying to find a spot at the mall lol? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

So it seems that arenas are a hot button topic and a bone of contention for many.

I wish this sub had a poll option. because I would love to see where candidates fall on these things.

Crime

Employment initiatives

Festivals and civic events

Economic development

City Hall budgeting

Transparency of local officials

Intercity transportation initiatives

Local transit

Road infrastructure

Tourism initiatives

Education infrastructure

Hi, so I am always amazed about what restaurants are able to thrive. With rents being crazy high and location being key, I am also always curious how some restos can survive when surrounded by other similar offerings. Economics tells us that when the number of offerings of anything of a given type of product or service increases, price goes down, and if more than enough enter the market, profit is reduced to zero. Also, that profit is maximized when you have a differentiated offering, and maybe even premium. Toronto has such a great offering and yet, I am told that operating costs and food costs can be unsustainable.

My question: what is your first sign, as a customer, that a restaurant is going to fail, even if they have a great concept? So many places are gone that shouldn't be, had they only mastered some element of their business. What say you?

I'm working on a final project for a course I am doing, and I'm having trouble finding APIs that are free that point to open source data sets for average rents and mortgages in Canada and USA?

Thanks!

I'm wondering if there is some utility in setting up a superthread here to list all of the potholes that remain unfilled? It seems like the city isn't doing anything despite having their reporting system. Does anyone know if, other than Matt Crowley, any city works people are among us?

So I have Google Scholar alerts to let me know when people cite my papers, and I received one the other day. As usual, delighted, so I decided to go see how they used it. The authors had a paper in an Elsevier journal. When I checked, my name was listed as an uncited reference. Does anyone else find this odd, especially given that proofers at Elsevier and Wiley are kind of anal about pointing out references that are unused (I know this only because one of my papers had that lol...and I removed it from the reference list).

So it seems that flowers are being stolen from the vases at Rosemount Cemetery. Checked with the office and they are not removing flowers from vases. Unreal.
